Marks Are Not You Poem by Rajendra Prasad Meena Jaipur India

Marks Are Not You

Do not fear the exam today,
Breathe in deep, you'll find your way.
Marks are numbers, small and few,
They do not define the real you.

Learning grows when stress is gone,
Like morning light after dawn.
Think, explore, and try your best,
Calm your heart and take some rest.

Books are friends, not walls of fear,
Each small step will bring you near.
Do your work with steady mind,
Joy in learning you will find.

Win or lose, stand tall and true,
The greatest score lives inside you.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
"Marks Are Not You" is a motivational poem that addresses the anxiety students often experience during examinations. It gently challenges the belief that academic marks define personal worth or intelligence. By presenting marks as mere numbers, the poem emphasizes that a student's true value lies beyond scores and rankings. The poem highlights the importance of a calm and focused mind for meaningful learning. Stress is shown as an obstacle, while curiosity, steady effort, and emotional balance are presented as the real conditions in which understanding grows. Images such as "morning light after dawn" suggest clarity, hope, and renewal that come when fear is replaced with confidence. Written in simple, encouraging language, the poem is especially suited for students and young learners. Its tone is reassuring rather than pressurizing, reminding readers that success and failure are temporary, but self-belief and the joy of learning are lasting achievements. Ultimately, the poem conveys that the greatest score is internal—confidence, resilience, and a love for learning—qualities that no examination can measure.
